canada to the united states, this must get permission from the president of the united states and there has to be an environmental impact statement to make sure it wouldn't have an adverse impact on the environment. everybody's in favor of that. republicans, democrats. no one want wants to hurt the environment. so in the great wisdom, i say very sarcastically of our government, the state department has sent it to transcanada, the environmental impact statement. they hire a company that they routinely do business that has every reason to curry favor and be light on the environmental impact statement so the proposal goes forward. it's sending the fox to guard the chicken coop. none of that was revealed second quarter when it came back, plane people were suspicious of it. to me, it's like, who is the -- who is the fool who thought that was a good idea to get an environmental impact statement from a company with a business relationship with the one who is want to build it? >> well, greta, you know, everyone wants energy to be as clean as it can be made, as fast as it can be made i

republican seat. she will be a terrific general election candidate and a great addition to the united states senate. >> caller: she is running against a war hero, bob kerry, who is very popular. so this will be fascinating. >> it is interesting, the polls shower, even as not well known as she was, beating kerry handily, in large part because he has spent the better part of a decade, living in new york city, contemplating a run for mayor in new york city. that's not a good way to get favor in nebraska. >> greta: coming up, vice-president joe biden gets very loud. what got him so riled up? you have to hear the fiery speech. next. obamacare or no care? some college students are going to end up with no insurance. and the university president says the president's health care law is to blame. preliminary rivals or frenemmies. chris christie is teaming up with a democratic mayor. what is the duo up to? you have to see it to believe it. you do not want to miss this. what makes sam adams boston lager great is as simple as abc. a, the appearance. amber. [ jim ] b, balance. sam adams has malt sweetness

a letter, about the obama administration is allowing children who are not citizens of the united states to come across the border into your state unlawfully? >> about 80% of all of these unaccompanied minors are coming in across texas border. you go back and illegal immigration has been an issue for many years here. compounded by the drug cartels realizing that the mexican u.s. border they could operate without impunity. they have operational control on some sides of the border. we have 23 citizens in mexico most likely, i don't know if they have been identified yet, cartel battle going on there. you have the illegal immigration issue and compound it with the drug cartels. then a new phenomenon we are seeing now. this is within the last six months or so. we've seen 5200 unaccompanied young people, we're talking to 8 to 9-year-olds that are coming from south america and we don't know all the details yet about how mexico is dealing with this. they are coming to the texas border and crossing the border. and taking them into refugee resettlement, vast majority we had 1400 of them in just in

wanted to make clear that i was solidly behind him in order to make him president of the united states. >> greta: okay. it's clear that you are supporting the republican nominee. have you thrown your support behind governor romney. what is the reason why you don't support president obama? what is the difference between the two parties, the two candidates as we approach november? >> here again, it's real simple. governor romney gets it right on the big issues. president obama get its wrong on the big issues. governor romney understands what it's going to take to boost this economy to a growth rate that this economy is capable of. no policies of president obam have boosted the economy. we are now at something less than 2%. that's not what our economy is capable of. governor romney get its right on energy independence. he knows and has stated that we can maximize all of our energy resources in this country to become energy independent. everything that president obama does seems to be opposite of that. and then the other thing that governor romney get its right on is he wants to repeal oba

was for it personally. he didn't say as president of the united states, personally. he saided that each state should make up its own decision which is a conservative view point states rights and the whole federalism. apparently process wise. >> that was a little twist i thought in the argument. he said one of the reasons he decided to come out hike this is because mitt romney called for a federal constitutional amendment saying at the federal level the constitution should ban gay marriage and he thinks it should be state bistate. as president that is not something that is likely to come to his desk. on the issue of gay marriage he is comfortable with it and think is states over time as the public opinion evolves will evolve with him. >> he won north carolina by half a percentage point last night. this year the democratic convention in north carolina and then you have last night's vote on the gay marriage constitutional amendment to the state constitution. what is the conventional wisdom of what this means for north carolina for this president? >> a couple of democrats felt like, north carolina, or m

's next. >> this is a fox news alert. the united states embassy in kabul, afghanistan, sounding its alarm, after a large explosion was heard in the city, less than two hours after president obama flew out of afghanistan tonight. we will bring you near more on the breaking news as we get it. tonight, donald rumsfeld is here and he says that u.s. special ops are the center of the campaign and says that that may be good for the candidates and not for the troops. he will tell you why. tonight, president obama under cover of night, take egg surprise trip to afghanistan afon the anniversary of bin laden's death. and another one. yes a new scandal and it could be the most despicable yet. the culprit, a high-ranking intelligence officer and there could be more. just in minutes. but first, one year after u.s. forces kill osama bin laden, president obama addressing the nation from afghanistan. >> some people will ask why we need a firm timeline. the answer's clear. our goal is not to build a country in america's image or to eradicate every vestige of the taliban. these objectives would require many

in spain, the freezing of lending of capital throughout the world. and it is why the united states can't shake this recession. because it is not a recession. it is what is called the debt implex caused by debt. like the way they used to plead patients in the middle ages to get rid of the evil spirits and just made them worse. that is what he is doing really. >> greta: what he is running on is the statement it could have been so much worse and we are really lucky. how do we know if he is right? there could have been so much worse than he really sort of stopped the, you know, stopped all the problems from getting so much bigger or how do we know that he is not scaring us? >> look at every other country in the world, greta. we are the only country that did not bounce back from this recession. china had a 9%, 10% growth rate. india, high growth rate. the european zone came out of this recession a year and a half before we did and they had. >> greta: you have greece, you have unemployment in spain of 24%. i mean. >> now, you are. >> greta: europe is imploding. >> now, you are. it is 2012. i

of state hillary clinton in my presence in afghanistan said, the united states would not abandon the women -- i don't have a solution. but i think we are kidding ourselves to think that the taliban can be negotiated with. >> i wouldn't disagree with that. the taliban have proved to be unreliable negotiating partners in the past. you may remember a clinton administration senior diplomat who said of them that on a scale of 1 to 10, they are a zero in terms of new yorking partners. from -- from a number of people, you can get a sense that this is not a group of people can you can do business with in the normal sense. the president seems to believe that the sole mission now is to deny al qaeda a sanctionaur in afghanistan. used to be another part of the mission, the one referred to by hillary clinton, as you suggested and that was, the elimination of the taliban as a governing force in afghanistan because of their utter -- this is a medieval group of people in terms of their behavior, particularly toward women. things have gotten better for women in afghanistan since the taliban -- >> not if y

that he becomes the next president of the united states. so while i think a lot of times, we talk about top-line messaging of the party, this is about the future of america this is not about the party, this is about saving this country and defeating barack obama. but the job of the rnc and my job is to put lead on the target and to make sure that we put an army on the ground, going door to door, winning this race, whether it be absentee ballots in clump bus o, ohio, hispanic outreach, college students. it's a lot less talk and a lot more action. mitt romney coming into the rnc today was the kickoff of this merger between the rnc and our presumptive nominee. >> greta: so who is in charge? is it governor romney or you? i mean -- who is calling the shots? there are obviously some areas that are yours. but whether it comes to the presidential campaign. i realize it's like a symphony, great if you worked well together. but who will be calling the shots on this? >> actually, i mean, it is both parties. i mean, that's why it's a merger. it is not a takeover. it is not one entity swallowing up

and international mystery between united states and china. is the united states hiring a blind dissident and hiding him in the beijing embassy? governor chris christie, he stuns us. you won't believe what he blurted out. right now, contempt. house republicans turning up the heat on attorney general eric holder. they moved one step closer to holding him in contempt of congress. they have drafted a 46-page contempt citation. it accuses him of stonewalling over operation fast and furious. congressman jason chase joins us. the draft is 46 pages. how serious is this? is this saber rattling or is the attorney general figure out ways to comply or is this going to land in his lap? >> only handful of times in the history of the house is to hold somebody in contempt of congress. a subpoena that was issued in october of 2011 has been totally ignored. there are 20 categories. and we have received zero documents. we've got a dead border patrol agent. the department of justice have knowingly lied to congress. we have 300 people dead in mexico. we have thousands of weapons knowingly given to

it. why is he talking about whether nicolas sarkozy's wife is going to leave him. and united states has spent ten years to catch a taliban fighter same ones who have been trying to kill our troops and in some instances succeeding and now we are releasing them. bob scales goes on the record. but first, donald trump. >> nice to talk to you. we had all hoped for better job numbers. i'm curious, your assessment how is the economy going on now? >> the numbers were not good. the way they are recording the numbers is even worse because it actually shrunk. the actual percentage should have gone up instead of down. regardless there is no one saying the numbers were good. >> the way they are recorded the way we have historically recorded the numbers. there isn't a game going on? >> in the old days, when wlud jobless numbers you would get real numbers. today you don't know what they are or what they represent. people getting out of looking for a job because they are tired of it because they can't find one. all of a sudden those numbers aren't being recorded. people that gave up looking for a j

the representative, that he was born in the united states. are you still not satisfied? i mean, what is it that you want to be satisfied? >> well, look, it's not up to me. it has nothing to do with me. but the fact is if he wasn't, he's not allowed to run for president, he's not allowed to be the president. so this is not up to me. this was something that came out last week. people called me about it. i gave my two cents. there's a lot of questions as to the authenticity of the birth certificate. so you can believe it or you don't have to believe it, but certainly there are many, many questions. you have had people on your show, you have heard people. there are many, many questions as to that. and we will just have to see where all the chips fall. i can tell you that this is not an issue, despite what he says, that president obama likes. this is hitting very close to home. this is not something that he enjoys. with all of that being said, i think it's much more important at this point to talk about what's going on with opec, what's going on with china, what's going on with virtually every country i

hispanics in the western part of the united states are not wild about. >> i think what the governor was responding to was the idea that we could round up and deport 9 million people. that's not a realistic approach. the governor is a supporter of a legal immigration system that works. if we had a legal immigration system that worked and a workable guest worker program that didn't threaten american jobs, a lot of the problem would diminish. supporting reforms and modernizations to the legal immigration system to make it easier for us to enforce the law and make it easier for people to be here legally. >> greta: maybe you are not the right person to ask. but president obama gave a speech about immigration at american university, a landmark speech on immigration. i listened to it. at the time, he had the house and the senate. both democrats. now things have changed. why wasn't he able to do something about immigration policy then? he had dreams or policies, things he wanted to do. is there simply -- isn't thereto will? >> i think that's true. that's the first thing. but the second thic

married my husband 34 years ago. he has dual citizenship with the united states and with switzerland. by operation of swiss law, automatically, because i married a dual citizen, on my wedding day, i was giving swiss citizenship. so i have had that for all 34 years of our marriage. the issue came up last week, a lot of people thought i was giving up u.s. citizenship. i wanted people to know, i have pledged allegiance to the united states eevery day of my life -- >> greta: were there new papers recently? >> one child -- they are eligible for dual citizenship and they were filing and this came to light. i wanted people to know, without a shadow of a doubt, i'm an american, first, last and always. i asked the swiss consalate to withdraw my swiss citizenship. i am 100% american. >> greta: no deals on on swiss watches? >> have you to go on the streets of manhattan for those. >> greta: but they are counterfeit. we had fun, i must admit, last week. always nice to see you. >> good to see you. >> greta: is california governor jerry brown trying to cool it'll californians? what are californians

, taxpayers subsidized abortion, that's anathamma. it's the biggest job killer in the united states, not creating more jobs. this is a big get for our party. >> greta: suppose bithe end of june, the supreme court throws out the health care. that is -- that's what governor romney -- many of his supporters are running on. suppose they throw that out. what you are running on july 1 to election day? >> well, that would be a wonderful advancement. i hope that the supreme court does declare obamacare unconstitutional because i firmly believe it is unconstitutional. and it's going to be anathamma for our economy. i am fully hoping they do that. if they do pull that down, there are so many issues to run on because obama has taken over other parts of the economy, with dod frank or the student loan industry. there is no shortage of issues to run on and the issue we talked about today inport -- in portsmouth is energy. many jobs can be created on energy. that's what governor romney is committed to doing. >> greta: congresswoman, thank you very much. hope to see you in the studio soon. >> we wi

believe should be re-elected because of his commitment to see a balanced budget in the united states of america. he wants to apply that common-sense economic principle of balanced budget, fiscal responsibility. i want to see him re-elected. my endorsement will differ from others. in that race in utah, no different, i think in many sense, when we talk about the endorsements in texas. >> greta: i am sure that orrin hatch will be happy to hear that. one last issue, the great state of wisconsin, not to be confused with the great state of alaska. the recall election. your thoughts about that? >> walker's going to be just fine. fiscal conservative who is understand that austerity means living within your means, the little austerity steps that governor walker is applying in order to reign in the growth of government there and turn a deficit into a surplus and allow the private sector to create jobs, he's fulfilling promises he made as a candidate. walker will win. he will get through just fine, this june 5 recall effort. he and the lieutenant government, wisconsin will be just fine and anot

. so that drove prices up. but then there has been significant efforts on the part of the united states and on their international partners in the u.u. to bring the prices down. so we have higher production from saudi arabia and then, you know, our use of gas is lower than normally would be because the economy is not in a great state. >> do we think there will be a broader impact, when the prices go down for gas tmakes transporting goods cheaper -- do we expect a positive ripple? >> every household that has a car knows that as soon as gas prices go up, have you less money in your pocketbook and your bank account. so this is going to be a really good thing for the u.s. economy. it is important to remember that we have seen unusually high gas prices in the spring. they have moderated a little bit. but they remain high. they are still high. but looking forward into the fall. looking at the global issues, tensions with iran and other things, what are the key things we could be looking forward to in the future that could impact gas prices? >> one thing to remember is that tensions with iran

retailner the united states. but cofounder bernie marcus said the 1978 launched company could never have gotten off the ground in today's business environment. why? he blames president obama and congress and he has advice for both. we spoke with him earlier tonight. >> mr. marcus, nice to see you, sir. >> how are you? good. >> i'm very well. so you have had a rich and succession full history in business. you are a republican and you have written this up at which you say essentially, correct me if i am wrong, that president obama should be more like president bill clinton. tell me what you mean by that. >> you know, he crossed the isle. and crossing the isle means when you are president of the united states, there's just so much you can do. we have a house of representatives and we have a senate. and in order to get anything done in this congress, you have to work across lines. you don't always have a friendly congress. but if you don't work with them, no legislation is going to happen. unfortunately president obama came in and from the day he came in, he, rather than communicating with t

united states would be on that list. in 25th place. let's raise academic standards across the nation. let's get back to the head of the class. let's solve this. >> greta: more than $800,000 is wasted? well, that's nothing. try billions of dollars. that's what congressman john mica says the gsa is doing right now. how are they doing it? griff jenkins caught up with the congressman. >> reporter: the federal government is the nation's largest asset hold wer nearly 900,000 properties, over 3 billion square feet and over 40 million acres of lan. but many of the properties are under utilized, mismag managed or sitting empty, costing billions of dollars. you don't have to look hard. in fact, we are a few blocks from the u.s. capitol, where this building, owned by the gsa, has been sitting empty over five years. congressman john mica of the transportation and infrastructure committee wants something done about t. where are we? >> we are in an empty federal building that has been vacant for five years, costing the taxpayers a lot of money. as you can see, there is nobody here. >> reporter: and in

in the united states. it goes almost to the mall in the nation's capitol. it is under utilized and vacant for years. >> >> greta: coming up, if you thought it ends with the gsa, you are so wrong. try this, a top intelligence official billing you from fake trips, buying a house and a boat on your dime. but there is more -- so much more. senator scott brown says noaa, the group that tried to hire a magician with your money is shredding documents, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a party boat. he wants the head of noaa fired. >> they need to have magicians to fix it.

's a disaster for the united states. nobody can run a business that way, greta. >> is it that he has not made a fertile environment for business? and if so, why not? and how do you compare and contrast that -- did president bill clinton make it a fertile environment for small businesses to grow or even big businesses? >> well, i don't know. i wish i could answer that. you would think -- you would think that -- you know small business, especially small businesses that create really, if we are going to create jobs, one out of three jobs in america will be created by the small business people, so you would assume that somebody who understood the business climate and the economics would go out of his way to make it -- inviting to open these businesses, to get them to create more jobs. to get them to grow. instead, we find that number 1, he's proposing oenerrous taxes so that somebody, you know, most of these companies that the small businesses are sub-championship ss and he is talking about raising their taxes 30%. this is the proposal he gave to congress. we have obamacare, which most of these p

largest at the time because there was dumping by foreign countries of cheaper steel here in the united states, so nobody wanted to buy domestic steel. >> that's true. >> does that make it unfair? >> it certainly make its unfair. what else is new? if you look at foreign countries and foreign companies right now, how they are subsidized over our companies, so it is unfair. and frankly, if you look at that ad, i think that ad was extremely unfair and it's the topic of a lot of conversation right now. it was a very, very unfair ad. but that was a time when steel was doing extremely poorly because of the dumping. dumping all over the place. and steel was being hurt. many, many steel companies at that time were going out of business. >> all right. so a very significant omission in the ad. i will get to a romney campaign ad in just a second, which i think there is an omission. i will play a sound bite from part of it, 23 seconds out of the ad and tell me how potent you think this is politically in the five battleground states hearing this part of this ad against romney. >> i was devastated...
